So desperate, Yogurtland and Joe’s Italian Ice are offering buy-one-get-one, rainy-day deals at select locations – but only if it rains.

Irvine-based Yogurtland’s BOGO deal will be in place for at least the next two months.

Earlier this year, Yogurtland celebrated its 10th anniversary. Phillip and Michelle Chang, immigrants from South Korea, founded the frozen yogurt company in 2006. It started as a bubble-tea café in Fullerton and later became Yogurtland which opened in 2007 in Irvine.

It now has 320 locations in 17 states, Australia, Dubai, Guam, Thailand and Venezuela.

Joe’s Italian Ice also offers buy-one-get-one free deals on Italian ice while it’s raining. The chain has a location in Anaheim.

About an inch of rain is expected to hit Southern California this weekend. Winds of 20 to 25 mph are expected in coastal areas and some flooding may occur Monday and Tuesday at high tide.

The temperature will drop dramatically from February’s record-breaking heat to highs in the low 60s.
